A curated list of philosophy resources

#12The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy is the one stop shop for most purposes.
With any one philosopher or topic as a starting point, the additional resources and bibliographies will be about as good as you can get for a curated list.
Re: A curated list of philosophy resources
#13I find modern philosophy papers to be far more interesting, readable and concise than some of these texts, which are often pretty circuitous. Unfortunately, I haven't yet found a good site that curates good papers.
C'mon down to PhilPapers.com!
Re: A curated list of philosophy resources
#14I am becoming tired of the word "curated" unless it is being used in a context implying a qualified curator. This could be someone's random list of browser links for all I know. Who are the curators of this list and how are they qualified for me to are about their "curated" list? I don't necessarily mean formal qualifications. Also, curation implies active and personal involvement (as opposed to passive analysis based on statistical measures of relevance or citations). Why in this case would I prefer personal curation?

A great collection of philosophy resources which was indispensable during my undergrad philosophy studies.
Search by philosophers, traditions, what have you!

#16This list is exclusively of western philosophers. If you want to step into the world of philosophy at any time period or in any part of the world, I highly recommend the podcast "A History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps" by Peter Adamson.

Well, I can imagine a list of, say, physics resources that does not contain any references to the works of ancient thinkers.
Re: A curated list of philosophy resources
#18This isn't a curated list. This is an empty list. It has almost no content. None of the links do anything. I can't understand why it's posted here when it has so little work done and so much work yet to be done. I hope it grows, of course, but mostly I hope it grows to include people who aren't a handful of western white men.
It's a GitHub hosted shared document, open to all. Feel free to add as many others as you'd like! I've been enjoying ancient Chinese proverbs lately, such as: "It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness" ;-)

So literally the opposite of curated?

"A History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps" is a great podcast but... as the name implies it tries to be as exhaustive as possible and as a result progresses extremely slowly through the history of philosophy.
For those interested in getting some basic knowledge about philosophy quickly I'd rather recommend Philosophize This! by Stephen West. The host isn't a philosopher by education but he seems to be very knowledgeable about the subject(at least to a layman such as me, feel free to correct this statement) and more importantly he focuses on the most important points that can be relevant to the average listener.
Also +1 for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy which has already been brought up by others ITT.
